REDFORD WHITE, SLN

REDFORD WHITE


Cipriano Cermeño II (December 5, 1955 – July 25, 2010), better known as Redford White, was a Filipino actor and comedian who was active from the late 1970s until the late 2000s.

White first came to prominence in the late 1970s for his supporting role in the sitcom Iskul Bukol. He had a string of hits as the leading man in several 1980s comedies such as Boni and Klayd, Darakula and Hee Man: Master of None, his first major role. For several years, he starred in the TV sitcom Buddy en Sol with Eric Quizon. In the latter part of his career, White appeared in several films for Star Cinema such as Tar-San, Ala eh... Con Bisoy! Hale-hale-hoy!: Laging panalo ang mga unggoy, and Haba-baba-doo! Puti-puti-poo![4]

White was reportedly born with albinism, which gave rise to his screen name.

His last movie was Iskul Bukol 20 Years After (2008), and his last TV show was Kokey on ABS-CBN 2.

He was married to Elena Cermeño and they had a daughter, Jeruie Cermeño. On July 25, 2010, at 6:47 a.m., Redford White died of complications from his bout with brain and lung cancer at the age of 54. His wake took place at what had been his residence in the Maligaya Subdivision, Fairview, Quezon City.
